One of the great amusements for expats in Paris (or maybe just me, I'm easily amused) is the bad translation from French to English found on many restaurant menus. Waiters will often give you the English version (if they have one), even if you've asked for it in French, so you might as well enjoy it. I'm quite vexed that I forgot to take a photo on the occasion when I saw "rat potatoes" on a menu, but this one is also a particular favourite of mine...

About Me

I'm Canadian (from Toronto), spent nine years living in the UK (London) and then moved to Paris to finally write my novel. Where better to be a starving writer? Got tired of starving and moved to Saudi Arabia to make some money. Hopefully this will make the blog more interesting as I will get to travel more now...
